Tweets of the Month
Base is:
- The onchain home for @coinbase
- An open ecosystem where anyone, anywhere can build apps that reach the next 1B users
- An app where you can create, earn, trade, discover apps, and chat with friends
- A bridge that brings people onchain and enables them to go anywhere
The challenge now isn’t bringing crypto mainstream – it’s keeping it decentralized
We’re not here to recreate old systems we’ve been trying to leave behind but with shinier wrappers
@base is here to update the system: open, permissionless, and accessible to everyone, everywhere
Permissionless or bust
Fintech is dead
It’s just crypto or tradfi now
All assets will inevitably be tokenized and tradable onchain 24/7 globally with instant settlement, fractional ownership, and more
Internet capital markets

We just published a guide on how the listings process on @coinbase’s centralized exchange works, recommend all builders check it out
We get a ton of questions about how and why assets get listed on Coinbase. To be more transparent we wrote a guide on how it all works.
TL;DR: listings are free and merit-based. Every asset is evaluated against the same standards.
